Great cabernet for experienced tasters

Maipo Valley

The Maipo Valley is divided into three areas, Maipo Alto, Maipo Valley, and Maipo Costa. The Maipo is where fine wine production begins for Chile, when Mr. Silvestre Ochagavía planted the first French varieties in the mid-19th century.

There are over 10,000 hectares planted here, of which 67% is Cabernet Sauvignon and only 18% represents the white varieties planted. The soil is a mixture of clay, rocks & gravel, limestone, and other components, which are are very much helped by its climate and two rivers, the Maipo and Mapocho.

“We really enjoyed your role in our wine tour, and we are still talking about the one night we stayed at the Santa Rita Hotel. Mr. Claro would be proud of the staff, the hotel, the grounds, the winery and the museum.We all returned to our boring lives last Thursday afternoon, but thanks to you and your company we have lots of great memories. Now our job is to promote and “taste” Chilean wines.Thanks for everything,- Mike P.”
